Happy Friday, everyone! I trust the week has treated you well, and hope your weekend will be even better.
I'm headed home to the Eastern Shore this weekend (the family has to meet my adorable puppy), so I probably won't get much time to read "Catching Fire," Suzanne Collins' so-far fantastic sequel to "The Hunger Games." I'm about a third of the way through, and it is wonderful. I don't care what you think of the YA genre, you need to read this series, which will eventually be a trilogy -- especially if you're at all interested in Greek mythology (specifically the labyrinth myth) or dystopian novels.
Speaking of dystopian novels, I think it's time to announce the winner of Tim Hamilton's reimagined "Fahrenheit 451": Sam! Looks like your plea for your classroom touched the heart of random.org.
Next up: Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo's "That Old Cape Magic." Set on the beaches of Cape Cod, I think it's the perfect addition to your beach read list. Let us know what you're reading, and it could be yours!
